Why is it so important to Isaiah 54 Project to look out for the homeless?
1. They belong to God. Just some don't know it yet (Ezekiel 18:4,
" Behold, all souls are mine;").
2. We are told too (Isaiah 54:2, "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and
let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not,
lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;" )
We have no other choice...This is a commandment to enlarge our
hearts to love the unlovable. Love those that don't look like me.
Love those that don't live like me. Love those that seem far
fetched to love. Love those that people look down upon. Love
those that don't love themselves. These are people that we must
find love deep down in our hearts to love. Those that haven't had
baths for days or maybe weeks. Those filthy on the outside.
Spare not thy love. Even as Christ loves us and spared not his
own life to save us. Because of love.
3. The homeless are so many, that they will be coming from our left
and our right. And our seed, that we plant in them, will take over
their Gentile heart that is empty and void. Where, at their current
state, God can't penetrate their hearts, so He isn't living inside
them, yet.
4. When we (Isaiah54 Project) goes out to serve them, Isaiah 54:4,
"Fear not; of what may become of
us. We won't be ashamed (Because, we are not ashamed of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ). And, we
will NOT be confounded; nor, will we be put to shame. It may
have experienced all of this when we were immature in the
LORD. But now, we are mature in the LORD, and trust and
depend on Him. And, know what God says about us!
5. Who stands along side of us? The One that made us. Our
Redeemer, The One and only Holy One, and the God of the
entire earth.
6. We were in the same boat as the homeless at one time. Forsaken, but God had mercy on us. Those that choose to don't stay forsaken for long. It's their decision. Thank God, for His mercy.
